Piaffe-Performance was founded in 1999 by Dr. Cesar Parra.

Dr. Cesar Parra and his team provide full-service training based on Classical Riding.

The full-service training has two components:

A tailored program for the training of horse and rider, and

A team which communicates with the horse owner, veterinarian, farrier and other service providers to ensure the health of your horse is the first priority.

The Classical Training Methods are those taught by the old Masters and perfected by some modern-day riders. These Methods are based on the Training Scale: Relaxation, Rhythm, Contact, Impulsion, Straightness, Collection. (Losgelassenheit, Takt, Anlehnung, Schwung, Geraderichtung, Versammlung). This Training Scale is the foundation of the Classical System and of Dr. Parra’s training philosophy.

We strive to form a highly functioning team between RIDER, HORSE, TRAINER, FACILITY and SUPPORT PROFESSIONALS such as VETERINARIAN and FARRIER

Training tailored based on the needs of the individual horse and rider.

Full-service training and grooming.

We strive to have all the components together “RIDER, HORSE, TRAINER, FACILITY, SUPPORT TEAM” (Piaffe-Performance staff communicates with all service providers and with owner to coordinate the optimal health of each horse):
